I wouldnt vote him in. Good thing I don't get a vote.
Why would you compare an outfielder to a 2nd baseman? You should be comparing him to other 2nd baseman of his generation and historically. On that he is a cinch to get in. Using your argument no shortstop other than Honus Wagner would be in and virtually no 2nd basemen.
